New Student Next StepsTriton’s Step-by-Step Enrollment Process

Note: You should receive an acceptance packet within 7-10 days after submitting your application.

Step 2: Apply for Financial Aid (if desired)

•

Many students seek outside funding to help pay for school with Financial Aid. Apply online at www.fafsa.gov and be certain to enter Triton’s school code: 001773. Begin as early as possible after Oct. 1 to maximize your aid opportunities. Learn more at www.fafsa.gov.

Step 3: Submit Official Transcripts and Documents

•

All documents should be dropped off in the Admissions and Records Office, Room B-110, or mailed from your school. You may also submit official college transcripts and ACT scores, if applicable, to be evaluated. Contact Admissions to request an evaluation.

Testing is mandatory for all new students enrolling in credit courses. You may be eligible for a placement test waiver based on your ACT/SAT/AP/IB scores, Seal of Biliteracy in English, or completion of college level English/Math courses with a “C” or better.

Note: You must have your scores or transcripts (unofficial documents sufficient) evaluated by a counselor in order to be granted a placement test waiver.

Step 5: Complete New Student Orientation/Destination Success

•

This mandatory step can be completed online, but it is encouraged you come to an in-person session. Visit www.triton.edu/destinationsuccess for more information and available sessions.
